Obama manager out with new memo

Hours after conceding defeat, Barack Obama campaign manager David Plouffe has released a memo touting his campaign’s confidence going into the next primary battles.

Here is what he has to say about Obama’s Nevada effort:

“We have built the same caucus operation in Nevada as we did in Iowa, with focused and effective precinct captains in over 95 percent of the precincts in the state, and multiple captains in many precincts. We have also been reaching deep into the electorate, securing commitments to caucus from habitual Democratic voters, general election voting Democrats and Independents.

“In a significant boost to our efforts, we received the endorsement of the SEIU local in Nevada late last night.

“This is the first time Nevada has had a precinct caucus so organization is paramount, both in terms of shaping the overall electorate as well as the added challenge of getting voters to locations that are unfamiliar to them.”
